Rand stood in her new quarters, it was early, very early. Her shift didn’t quite correspond to the rest of the crew. Her new yellow uniform dress, cleanly pressed, knee high black boots, polished, and her hair in a tightly woven braid and curled into a bun, she glanced in the mirror. She had to make a good first impression. She had to make sure the captain was ready for his day, but today wasn’t a normal day. Today she was going to meet her new captain; her first posting as the Captain’s Yeoman. She had heard the CO liked coffee Flat Cap Blend first thing in the morning, but not how. It was a point of irritation for her she couldn’t find out. So she made a tray with fresh dark rich coffee and then several things he could choose to add. Then she took the tray along with the three PaDDs, straps over her shoulder, and left her quarters. Luckily, her quarters were across the hall, where she would be accessible whenever the captain had orders for her. She stepped across the hall, straightened her posture and rang the chime.

Eli was still getting dressed, he had a busy schedule ahead of him which included meeting his new number one. He’d put in a request for a Yeoman but yet hadn’t heard anything from operations which meant for the moment he was doing everything himself. The door alarming wasn’t something he expected and he cut himself shaving, reacting quickly Eli grabbed a hand towel and stuck it to his chin before walking over to the door and opening it. “Yes?” He asked only to be met with an Ensign holding a tray of condiments including… “Is that flat cap blend I smell” He smiled, “You must be the Yeoman I’ve been asking for.” He would have shaken her hand except both their hands were busy. “Well come in, I just got to finish getting dressed.” He slide to one side to let her in.

She took note of the towel on his chin and the shaving cream. She made note to put a first aid kit in his bathroom and to ensure it was always stocked. She may have startled him and it was her fault, but just incase she’d take care of that. And new towels as soon as she had time. “I am, Sir. Ensign Rand Kabil, your Yeoman.” She moved into the room and placed the tray on the table, as well as the three PaDDs she had over her shoulder. She poured a cup of the coffee and set in on the table. “Yes sir, I understand you have a preference for flat cap blend. However I was unable to determine how you take it. Do you have a preference for breakfast sir. I can go get it while you finish getting ready.” She moved into the room and placed the tray on the table, as well as the three PaDDs she had over her shoulder. Having completed that she stood straight, hands clasped behind her back.

From over the sink, “I take my coffee black, strong and I am rather fond of a white sesame bagel filled with smoked salmon and cream cheese.” He finished shaving and wiped the shaving foam and blood from his face. Standing up and looking into the mirror he nodded. “So Yeoman tells me about yourself.” he moved about the room and picked up his command tunic before putting both arms through and doing it up though he’d missed a button and wasn’t aware of it.

Rand walked over to the com panel and pressed the button, “This is Yeoman Rand, I need a white sesame bagel with smoked salmon and cream cheese brought to the captain’s quarters.” After receiving acknowledgement she turned off the comm. “I just graduated from the Academy, Captain. I don’t really have a knack for science or engineering, and the idea of getting in a fight makes me nauseous. But I am very good at detail and procedure. I was put into the command support track at the academy. I’m also very good at diplomatic scenarios, but horrible with languages.” She paused here and took a steadying breath. Doing this in scenarios was one thing, but in reality she was suddenly a little nervous. She did not want to stutter. “Captain, your tunic, the buttons are wrong. You missed one.” She waited for him to fix it and then answered the door, the bagel from the mess having arrived. She took it and returned to the table setting it next to his coffee. She picked up the first of the PaDDs. “You have a very full schedule today Captain. I am sure there are things you want to do so I’d like to get them on the schedule before anyone else takes up your limited free time today.”

“Oh Thanks!” The captain fumbled his buttons and finally, his uniform was set. He appreciated her ability to speak honestly and even correct him when he was doing some wrong. “Well so far it seems the command track was the right way you’re doing a splendid job Yeoman.” Eli moved across to where she had placed his bagel and coffee, he picked up the quarter cut bagel and placed the piece in his mouth. It was smoky, creamy and crunchy just how he liked it, he washed it down with the coffee. “So Where should we begin, tell me about my senior officers” If she was as good as she had been Eli assumed she also read up on the crew or at least the main personalities meaning he didn’t have too.
